We have a couple of bluebirds nesting in our box. Usually, this box is inhabited by cute, bossy wrens...and I'm worried that they will "peck" the bluebirds out...but for now...I'm really enjoying the splashes of blue in my backyard.
Early in life, I was visited by the bluebird of anxiety.

I think Satan uses discouraging circumstances (even within the church) to drag us down. I'm really super focusing on my gratitude journal today. Even with little speed bumps, and people acting worse than my three year old...I can count a multitude of blessings.
The bluebird carries the sky on his back.

...a rainy day all cozy inside...
A bluebird, famous for the scrap of sky
Borne on his back - an indigo so bright
That just a glimpse of his distinctive flight,
All swoop and flurry, captivates the eye ...

Blue skies Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies Do I see
Bluebirds Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds All day long

I'm trying to think if I have ever seen one "in real life." So pretty!
I am so looking forward to a "week of normal," too.
I love the bluebird! I have just spent the past little bit watching a mama fox play with her four brand new pups in their nest over to one side of our wooded hill. They are too adorable for words. I'm grateful : )
Such beautiful pictures. I love blue birds (well, I love lots of birds). You did great finding such diverse quotes about them. Now I'll be on the lookout for bluebirds all day long today. :-)
Those bluebirds are very pretty. Nice quotes to go with them as well.
